The funds will be used to accelerate research and development of its advanced, proprietary technology and product line-up, bolster business development opportunities, and double the headcount over the next one year. HPCL will also join the board of Tranzmeo.
Tranzmeo has already launched a beta version of T-Connect and it currently analyses 508 km of HPCL’s petroleum pipeline for anomaly detection and prediction.
Founded in 2017 by engineer-turned-entrepreneur, Safil Sunny, Tranzmeo has developed ‘T-connect OneView’, a self-learning, data-driven, comprehensive anomaly forensics application, which runs on data streams to impact energy industries.
HPCL’s investment in Tranzmeo is part of India’s state-owned oil and gas companies’ strategy to partner innovative startups that help them cut costs and increase operational efficiencies.
Ten oil companies have formed a Rs 320 crore fund to support 30 startups across sectors, including fuel and waste management.
